{Christmas Hair Clip}

The inspiration for this project came from Pinterest. Imagine that? :) I started with these supplies...

I used red and white sparkly felt, green felt, and a metal hair clip. And you probably notice those cute little reindeer buttons. Well, I didn't end up using them. I had planned on it, but I ended up using a sparkly red pom pom instead. I found the flower template while browsing Pinterest. You can get the flower template from yoonie-at-home. (Yoonie's tutorial is great, and she uses her flower to create a headband!)Step One: Cut out the template pieces. Pin them to your felt and cut out your felt pieces.

Step Two: I wanted to add a little something to the white flower, so I stitched around the white flower petals with red thread.

Step Three: Sew all the pieces together with a few stitches in the middle.

Step Four: Add the center embellishment to cover up your stitches. I used a sparkly red pom pom. Clip a circle of felt in between your hair clip. You are going to create a sandwich with your flower on top, then the top of the hair clip, then the felt circle.

Step Five: Glue the flower to the top of the clip. (The picture below is the back view, of course.)

Step Six: Admire your beautiful Christmas hair clip!

The clip looked so adorable in my niece's hair.

But that could just be because she is so adorable anyway. ;)

When I made the clip, I also made a tiny bow clip for my littlest niece.

The tutorial for it can be found {HERE}. These would be great Christmas gifts. You could change the color combos for clips that would coordinate with any outfit.
